Bonelick park has AYCD brunch on Sat-Sun for about $12-$15, with bloody marys, mimosas, and frozen margaritas. I’ve only been there for brunch. The beef ribs are very tasty, pulled pork (brunch) is tender and tasty. Their fried oysters (brunch) are very good but they get colsd fast.Their eggs (which come with most brunch dishes) are very good, as are their au gratin potatoes and cheese grits. The turkey sausage on a muffin is also extremely tasty.

As for Philly cheesesteaks, back in my hardcore days while living in DC, me and a couple of friends used to roadtrip to Philly for ECW shows, followed by a Tony Luke’s cheesesteak (occasionally chicken cheesesteak) down the block after midnight. They were always amazingly good in all respects.

I am looking forward to planning a “post exam celebration” in Feb, maybe your reviews will inspire me!

Either way, I’d love to do a Philly Cheese Steak Tour hitting Steve’s and Jim’s and any other places that you or anyone else recommends.

Any suggestions for cheese steaks in Philly other than the ones I just listed?

Before Sunrise,
Hope the exams go well. After hearing about meridians from you, I have a feeling you’ll do great. I’m glad to hear you’re looking forward to the future reviews. Keep an eye out, they won’t disappoint.

bitpom666,
I’ve heard great things about carl’s bitpom, it’s definitely next on the list. I’ve also heard about the Salt and Pepper wings from, you guessed it, BurgerConquest. I’m going to have to do another run of Wogie’s and get more sandwiches and the salt and pepper wings. You want in? Where else are wings that you’d hold up to the Wogie’s light?

Tasty trekker,
The link worked, great shots, definitely a sandwich I would enjoy. I bet its even better fresh out of the oven. It’s funny you say that about Wogie’s wings though, after eating there I’d have to agree I’d sooner go back for wings than one of the sandwiches. It also may be overkill to get a Pookie sandwich and wings, although I wouldn’t complain. Have you tried the Salt and Pepper wings at Wogie’s? Check out the link that bitpom66 posted, they have a little shot of the salt and peppers which they call the best of Wogie’s wings.

Eric,
Cheese to meat ratio! All about it. People don’t think about the fact that a sandwich needs to have balanced ingredients just like any other dish.

Very nice observations of Shorty’s vs Carl’s. From the descriptions alone, there’s no doubt Shorty’s is doing it better than Carl’s. But our boys a few commenters above disagree, calling Carl’s the best after a comprehensive hunt.

I’ve only had Carl’s once and it was after a night of drinking several years ago, but if my memory serves me correctly, I had fries with my sandwich. Either way, after all that good intel, I’m most intrigued about the sexy counter girl at Shorty’s.

stevenp,
Count yourself in, we’re going to have to undertake a serious wing tour after all this talk. How many places do you think you’re capable of hitting in one day? Sucks that Wogie’s was packed but the Philly fans had a worse day. Who’s AYCD? Never been to Bonelick Park before but heard they have a good brunch. Any recommendations there? How are the regular ribs and the pulled pork?

Haven’t had anything great lately (been cooking some really good stuff at home though, like chocolate waffles, fried eggs and polenta with sriracha, egg-kielbasa-cheese burritos….) The Pookie looks damn good, though–I might have to head to Wogie’s soon.
